lag, ping issues, caused by lack of servers (not my 72mbps connection,15ms ping on speedtests)
bots
cheating (yes it does go on & I include hit spots, QVM etc in this list)
running mods that lag, increase the ping, when they shouldn't.
Poor game play from other team players (A.I. team players?)
The queues to start a map
Abuse, noob calling etc
since 8.8 loosing to often
Started 8.8 & found I had to buy the barrel of a tank & Ammo even though I had this mounted in 8.7
gold shells should not be used in standard games
more servers needed or capacity increased
poor match making - farcical that a Panther 1 can be in a game with tanks that were not developed for another 10-15 years)
oh and the high number of prototype, planned tanks that never entered service.
having to ditch 2 sound Mods simply to improve game play.

I won't be the first to leave & doubt I will be the last. Thankfully I haven't fallen for buying "gold". I'll never get 2 million silver to move up to tier 8 whilst Wot creates unfair and unrealistic battles, with tanks from the 50's & 60's playing against 1940's tanks. & does nothing to stop Bots and cheating (whether allowed mods or otherwise).

You know what the thing is? It's not that I'm not expecting a low battle count player to be a tomato. I've been there myself. No one starts this game knowing everything. That much is more than understandable.

What is NOT understandable is people blaming everyting else BUT themselves for their fails. This is the most surefire way to keep sucking and to join the hordes of low skill high tier players that are atm killing off the fun for 75% of the battles.

Yes the game is not perfect. Yes you'll end up with a lot of fail teams. But you can't do much about that. What you CAN do is recognize your own faults and try to improve them so that you won't become part of the problem. The OP and people like him are the root of that problem and this attitude is exactly what keeps them there.

So like I said, no person with an attitude like that will be missed as far as I'm concerned.

No, people blaming everything but themselves is completely understandable. As I said, cognitive dissonance. It's so much easier to just keep blaming everyone and everything else and never admit to your own mistakes, both in real life and in WoT. The difference is that in real life most people have to accept that they're not perfect and adjust their attitudes accordingly, in WoT there's nothing that will stop them from doing what they're doing and they can go on blaming other players and matchmaking until they stop playing. There's no skill level required to advance in this game, you can just suck your way to tier 10 so you never have to actually learn the game and come to the sobering realization that what you did before might've not been the best for you or the teams you played with.

While I'm saying it's understandable, I don't mean you need to tolerate it. It's still immature, but unfortunately it's a part of human nature.

Well, I get what you're saying. Different viewpoints I guess. Unfortunately, whether I understand it or not, I still have to suck it up. Or find another game to play...

The day I bought my first chunk of gold I started getting better matchmaking, my shots were more accurate and I never suffered a lag spike again... and my official WG tinfoil hats arrived in the post a few days later.
